The gospel presenteth us with the whole method of God's grace and love to poor sinners. This world is the theatre in which grace acteth its part (the triumph of justice is reserved for the other world), and the gospel is the throne on which grace sits, and from whence it holds out its golden sceptre. The language of the law is no less than a sentence of death; but the gospel alloweth a psalm of mercy.
